IIIF a consortium of leading cultural institutions has announced a draft  specification for presenting computer-based 3D content.

Live interactive web visualization, and text can be modified and the results reloaded using the Load Manifest into Viewer.

Interesting variations of the scene can be generated by changing the values of those properties labeled as x, y, or z.  The implementation itself was greatly aided by exploiting the scenegraph specification of the X3D ISO standard. The 3D elements of the IIIF manifest are expressed as X3D nodes by JavaScript code in the webpage, and the resulting X3D Scene passed to the X_ITE viewer. No code of the X_ITE viewer itself had to be modified, a tribute to the expressive power of the X3D standard and the capabilities of the X_ITE browser. Please click on the learn more link below.
